Making GDB use gnulib's C++ namespace support shows this build error
on mingw:
../../src/gdb/ctf.c: In function 'void ctf_start(trace_file_writer*, const char*)':

The problem is the '#define mkdir ...'
Fortunately, we can just remove it, since gnulib's sys/stat.h
replacement already takes care of the Windows mkdir prototype quirk:
~~~
/* mingw's _mkdir() function has 1 argument, but we pass 2 arguments.
Additionally, it declares _mkdir (and depending on compile flags, an
alias mkdir), only in the nonstandard includes <direct.h> and <io.h>,
which are included above. */
# if (defined _WIN32 || defined __WIN32__) && ! defined __CYGWIN__
# if !GNULIB_defined_rpl_mkdir
static int
rpl_mkdir (char const *name, mode_t mode)
{
return _mkdir (name);
}
~~~
That's sys_stat.in.h, part of the sys_stat module, which we explictly
pull in nowadays. It wasn't being pulled when this macro was added:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00736.html
That patch was partially reverted meanwhile here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-12/msg00023.html
But the mkdir macro had been left behind unnoticed.
